The level of detail is amazing. C.P. Wilson seemed surprised people would want sketches. I told him with the quality of his artwork, many will want a sketch. He would have more sketch requests than he could handle if he goes to a NYCC/Baltimore/SDCC show. Michael,

It seems to have worked so far. Jim, that's great. I saw they're going for a decent amount on e-bay. Did you order during the initial period where we had it setup so that you could buy 3 and get 1 free? Chris, what did he sketch for you?

I had the opportunity to meet C.P. Wilson III this past weekend. A great guy, and an unbelievable artist. His sketch I asked for is amazing. Glad to see this comic doing so well.

I ordered 15 copies for my and we sold out! I admit I threw like 3 copies on eBay though. Amazing art and intriguing story so far. I pushed this on fans of Fables and Mouseguard. Awesome!

Go, 'Stuff'! I picked up the FCBD book along with everyone else, but there's something about finally having it in the proper square format that is just beautiful. The art deserves to be presented on that kind of scale. Cannot wait for issue 2. Woo-hoo! Go, ‘Stuff’!

Although I am supposed to get it through a subscription service, I am glad I made a trip to a local comic store the day it came out. After I bought the free comic day comic a month or so ago, I had a feeling this would go quick. Stuff is the best comic I read this year.

Kat, we're sorry to hear that. We have heard the same thing from a few different stores. Please let them know about the second printing in case they don't already, it should ensure that people get copies. It's unfortunate when some shops don't receive their shipment, I'd love to know what actually happens in instances like this, but it definitely doesn't make our job any easier.

How many small shops who ordered a couple or a few copies never received the issue, and how fair is that to all who faithfully pre-order their books, as I do? While I am glad that it sold out, meaning good numbers all around, I feel cheated because Diamond decided my store didn't need its order and shorted it. They also shorted my store for the FCBD issue.
